You realize that CA has a pop. of 36,000,000. If you minus LA, CA would still be on top. Texas has 7 in the top 50, CA has 8. MY point of the cities, numbers were just extra, was to show the cities we have beat out the cities Texas has. By the way, I love Houston

well the metro area has over 15M people if you remove it you most definately would not have more people
I am just asking why would it matter?

ANd only the #1 city and the #8 city in Cali is bigger.

The number 2,3,4, 5,6, and seven cities in Texas are all bigger. But what does that matter.

I like the number 2 city in Cali better than the number 2 in Texas, I like the number 4 (SF) better than our number 4(Austin)

Well you know, trolls always tend to get more responses because some don't realize they're dealing with trolls and some respond just for the fun of it.

I believe I was the first to respond in both of his Texas vs. threads even though I felt it was a "trolling" thread and poster from the get go. Silly questions deserve silly answers and I think we all enjoyed the 9 pages of silliness that ensued.

Wow. Well, at least this thread has calmed down a lot since I've been gone and it seems that the troll is gone. Before I go out, at least I can try to shed some light into the "diversity" question, assuming its about ethnicity/racial diversity.

African American: 10.3% of the population (subtracted West Indian and Sub-Saharan African from the "Black alone" category)

Irish: 8.2%

English: 7.7%

American: 5.9%

French: 2.5%

Italian: 2.0%

Scotch Irish: 1.7%

Scottish: 1.7%

Top Ten Ancestry Groups Percentage of Total Population: 82.0%

California

Top 10 ancestries:
1. Mexican: 30.1% of the population
2. German: 9.9% of the population
3. Irish: 7.8% of the population
4. English: 7.0% of the population
5. African American:5.3% of the population (subtracted Sub-Saharan African and West Indian from the Black total group to get this number)
6. Italian: 4.3% of the population
7. Chinese: 3.2% of the population
8. Filipino: 3.1% of the population
9. American: 2.6% of the population
10. French: 2.2% of the population

Top 10 share = 75.5% of the population

However, I will say that Texas is becoming more and more ethnically and racially diverse by the day. I think it will more interesting to compare the two in 10 years to see what it will look like.

Too bad there are already a million Texas vs. Cali threads anyway.....
